How Tivian’s platform can help you foster a culture of feedback

Share

Feedback-seeking behaviour has quickly become the norm in the changing working environment, indicating that feedback is no longer something that is simply endured by employees and managers, but something that is actively sought and embraced. 

Fostering a culture of feedback is not only important for individual performance and growth, but for giving your organisation a competitive advantage where knowledge-sharing, creativity and innovation are encouraged, creating improved employee experiences on the whole. 

We explore how Tivian’s powerful software platform, designed to uncover insights and inspire action, can help you analyse employee feedback, communicate change, measure improvement and foster a great culture of feedback.

Employee engagement in the “new normal”

It’s no secret that the workplace as we know it has transformed. COVID sped up the adoption of remote working practise, which came with new platforms and technologies employees needed to adjust to. Changes to how employees work within the “new normal” have left companies wondering what “business as usual” now looks like and how to make the most of it. 

Amidst these changes, employees are questioning whether their place of work still gives them a sense of purpose and encourages their professional growth, resulting in what’s now been coined the “great resignation”, and employers are starting to notice that the loss of top-performing employees is a cost they can longer afford to ignore.

With employees reassessing how their employers contribute to their development and overall career satisfaction, it’s become apparent that traditional modes of engagement like rousing town-halls are no longer adequate for individual job satisfaction. Employees are looking for new experiences, roles and responsibilities, and want the assurance that their voices will be heard when it comes to both giving and receiving feedback. 

Why businesses need to foster a culture of feedback

Companies with a healthy feedback culture are familiar with the benefits feedback can have on employee retention, business performance, transparency and accountability, and diversity and inclusion initiatives. But a good culture of feedback requires more than an annual or bi-annual employee survey – it’s an ongoing cultural practise that needs to be fostered across the organisation.

Feedback is, at the end of the day, data that can be used for improvement, both on an individual and organisational level, but amidst the hassle of inefficient processes and tools, the core objective of giving and receiving feedback is lost and opportunities for real change are missed. 

This can be addressed through a more efficient feedback culture, supported by effective tools that can help improve employee engagement overall. Solutions that help foster a culture of 360 degree feedback, encourage goal alignment, and drive better employee-leadership conversations can have a positive impact on employee engagement, which in turn leads to better business outcomes. This is why HR managers and business leaders need to prioritise measuring, analysing and continuously improving their employee experience – starting with meaningful feedback.

Action is impossible without insights

While there are steps you can take to implement a culture of feedback in your own organisation, having the mechanisms in place to discover, collect and analyse the insights that surround feedback are crucial to taking action that is appropriate and beneficial. 

The right digital tools can enable a culture of feedback by reducing time and resource usage while providing information that is useful on your journey in implementing changes and improvements.
